I go tanning during the winter. Here in Boston, it’s just a little too cold to soak up the rays outside during the winter. I find that it actually helps improve my winter blahs, plus a tan body generally looks better on film.
My tanning salon gives out candy, and I really like the grape Jolly Ranchers… until I made the mistake of taking a peek at one while I was under the lights. The damn thing was FLUORESCENT BLUE! I’m not putting that in my body ever again!!
Until the next time I go tanning. They taste really good.


Jesse, do you have a dermotologist? Because if you don’t, continued tanning-bed tanning will make you find one. My dermo-gal (beautiful woman, I might add, and smart–but dermotology is becoming a female dominated medical specialty) makes me solemnly promise each year that I will forgo tanning booths. VERY bad for your skin, and it ages your skin, also, so you’ll look like those south Florida ladies with prune-like complexions.
Just sayin’….
Not to beat a dead horse to death, so to speak, but this was on the Internet today:
“‘The recent statements by the American Suntanning Association (ASA) are ridiculous and there is no data to support them,’ the dermatology group said in a statement. ‘Indoor tanning is dangerous.’ “
